I’m so annoyed, got my 2 dc at home due to snow so both schools closed , having to do online lessons or planned work.OH sent home this morning as he couldn’t work due to bad weather(roofing contractor) so he’s decided to go back to bed. Me on the other hand am trying to help my youngest with school work, being called numerous times I walk out of room by youngest, trying to get my own bits of work done, older child complaining WiFi is lagging, dog wanting to go for his walk and won’t leave me alone, along with housework that needs sorting, washing that needs to be hung so it can dry, dc needing to be fed lunch, while my OH has been fast asleep snoring his bloody head off for the last 3 and half hours. I am tempted to blast radio to get the lazy fucker up to help me out.Rant done with,apologies in advance 🤬

I've voted YABU. Not because I feel he should be in bed but because you are allowing it.

The thing is its not obvious.

Show quote history

Was to me. And probably everyone else except the OP. Just because he has a ‘snow day’ from work doesn’t entitle him to spend it in bed, any more than it would the OP, were the situation reversed. Communications failure methinks.

Glad you woke him. I’d have gone up, shouted tag it’s you, then gone out for the rest of the day.

Maybe that’s why I’m a single parent now!!

He wanted to sleep a while, you wanted to go off for coffee.
Not sure you justified being angry with him wanting to go back to bed. Do you think he is now angry with you for going off out for coffee and he in the house, if so where does the angry cycle end?

Would you be happy if your partner went back to bed for more than 3 hours while you had kids and work ???

@Theeffingcleaner if the kids were at school what would you have normally been doing with your day?

Working

Basically doing a disappearing act is quite passive aggressive and unhelpful. Moreso I would say than sleeping, as at least OP knows where he is and could easily have addressed this with him.

Exactly @KeeperSweeper. The rest of you are drama LTB brigade or pearl clutchers. And some are making a massive assumption that the OP also works full time when she's said no such thing. But then that's what people do on here. Give 'their' version of events that is probably bollocks. I still don't believe the OH came home and went to bed with not one word spoken. It's bullshit. And if he so much as said 'I'm going to bed' the OP should have addressed the issue then. Not go off sulking and hoping her family worried about her.

Muttonhead here full of disdain for posters 'giving 'their' version of events that is probably bollocks'. And then proceeds...to give her own version of events.

They're not sending their brightest to MN anymore.

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches I was talking about the OP giving her version of events which I believe is bollocks and I believe would differ to her OH's version of events. You here for the drama too?

Is MN a forum still 'muttonhead'?

PoseyFlump · 11/03/2023 18:54

Fuck me, the posters on here who are willing to believe he just crept back into the house and went back to bed 😂😂
